Oops. My sister was visiting for a few weeks and I missed my spotlight.
I had been looking forward to it, but felt like it was in March for some reason... I finally checked the sticky thread tonight. I hope it's okay that I reply now.
Don't want to take away from current spotlights - I'll just answer the opening questions:

I'm due April 19th.

I'm feeling great! I have the normal ache in the pelvis & back that comes with later pregnancy - normal for me, anyway. Other than that, no complaints.

I'm not craving anything in particular - just good, fresh fruits & lots of protein! I am having some trouble with water, though. For some reason it just makes me feel sick. Still, I force myself to drink as much as I can.

I grew up on the east coast, mostly. I went to 18 schools in MA, NC, VA, and ME. My family moved around because my father couldn't commit to any particular location/occupation. I've been living in NC with my husband for 10 years. We met in Maine, and we're finally moving back to Maine this summer.

I have six sisters. The first five of us were born between 1975 and 1985, and then my parents had two more in 1997 & 1999. Five of my sisters live in Maine and one lives in NH. I miss each of them every day.

MelW - My first dd was born 8 days past my EDD.
My second dd was born over 2 weeks past my EDD. I had used black & blue cohosh tinctures and every non-invasive technique I could find, and finally went into labor after 2 courses of castor oil. My dd's heart rate had been sporadic during that last week and we had started to worry. DD#2 tolerated labor well and was born healthy. I am hoping that we won't need to do anything to get labor started this time - especially castor oil!

My birth order: I was #3 - 1980, exactly in the middle until the last two girls were born in the late nineties.

This is my final pregnancy! DP and I both feel that 3 is the perfect number for our family. I have to admit that this pregnancy has gone by too quickly for me, and I'm not quite ready to be heading toward the final stages this time, though.

Lindsay - Other than Mothering, which I subscribe to, I love the Dr. Sears Attachment Parenting book and children's books: What Baby Needs & Baby on the Way! Of course, most books recommended around this site are among my favorites. I am a fan of Birthing From Within.

Wobblykate: I finally got a sewing machine lesson last fall So far, I've made a changing pad / activity mat for my neice who was born in November, aprons & pillows for my daughters for Christmas, and I am setting my sights toward what will hopefully be a simple project for our new baby: cloth wipes. Maybe a simple blanket.
I need to buy a new wrap as I passed my Maya wrap on to my sister two years ago. I'm hoping to find one that is more user-friendly. The only position that ever stayed in place for my daughters was the on the hip one when they were older. (That was GREAT, but not much help when I needed hands during early infancy.) $50 is my spending limit, so I won't have a lot of options.
I also need to increase my cloth diaper stash.

AWESOME!!! Sewing wipes was so fun and low-expectations can be nice...I mean it's for wiping poop, they don't have to be seen in public with it . On the wrap front, I've been searching for a good infant wrap and this one was recommended in the 'crafty mama' thread http://www.mykarmababy.com/pages/BabySlingPattern.php. It looks pretty darn easy to make. I think I'll do it. I got some fabric for cheap at the thrift store and so the whole wrap is going to cost me like a $1 if it works out. I'll let you know how easy it is.

Im on my way to the book store to pick up the Dr sears one, I havent read it yet!!

Alright, so I did one yesterday and it was SOO easy I totally recommend it. If you're not really experienced with bias tape, I have to recommend the polar fleece kind...it's more forgiving (and softer).
